observed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER.

Assembling the Vacuum Cleaner

1. Slide the narrow end of the chrome telescopic tube inside the

deluxe, automatic floor to carpet nozzle tube.

2. Connect the curved hose/wand extension to the chrome

telescopic tube.

3. Connect the 360° rotatable hose clamp to the main unit by

squeezing on hose clamp locking switches and pushing in until

locked into position.

Using Deluxe Floor Attachment

Please note that the convenient 3-way adjustability and 6 soft

rubber wheels on the deluxe, automatic floor to carpet nozzle

enable you to freely move forward and reverse from carpet to

floor without any adjustments.

If floor nozzle does not move easily, we suggest that you reduce

suction power on the variable suction control. (See below.)

Suggestion: After vacuuming with deluxe floor nozzle, use crevice

tool to clean the deluxe, automatic floor to carpet nozzle.

Variable Suction Control

Your vacuum cleaner includes an electronic variable suction

control. The suction power can be adjusted by moving the slide

regulator to the desired position between minimum and

maximum. For example, less suction is required on upholstery

and draperies compared to thick shag carpets, which require

maximum suction.

Tool Storage

Note:A crevice tool and dusting brush are included with the vacuum cleaner. They are

Upright Parking Position

Please note that your vacuum cleaner can be conveniently placed in a space saving vertical

parking position.

Place unit on its side and reduce length of chrome telescopic tube to a minimum length.

Slide floor nozzle into locking position with receptacle which rests on top of unit.

2. Remove dust bag by pulling up on the plastic collar (if using cloth bag) or cardboard collar

(if using paper bag). Empty cloth bag or dispose of paper bags. Never reuse Paper Bags.

3. Insert a new paper bag or re-insert an empty cloth bag as far as it can go noting the direction

arrow on plastic or cardboard collar. By sliding in the cloth or paper bag, the side lever will

automatically go to the right allowing you to close the cover of the vacuum cleaner.

Note: Vacuum cleaner cover will not close if there is no cloth or paper bag is inserted in

the bag holder.

4. Close vacuum cleaner main cover.

Warning: Before closing main unit, make certain that sides of bag holder are pushed inside and

do not get caught between the hinges while closing the main unit.

Full Dust Bag Indicator

The red dust indicator may turn on while you are cleaning to indicate that the paper bag is full and

requires replacement. Note: Full Dust Bag Indicator only functions at maximum suction power from

variable control. You can test the Full Dust Bag Indicator by placing your hand over the end of the

Curved Hose/Wand Extension when vacuum is on – Indicator Should Turn Red.

Note: Regarding Cloth Dust Bag (Reusable)

If you are using the washable cloth bag, it should be emptied for reuse. Please note however

that the cloth bag will require periodic washing, especially while vacuuming fine dust particles that

can block suction. To wash cloth bag, first remove plastic bag collar attachment by removing all

four (4) screws. (Be careful not to lose any parts.) We suggest washing by hand in warm water

with laundry detergent until clean. Do not dry in electric dryer, cloth should be laid out or left

hanging to dry and then reassembled. To order additional cloth bags or paper bags, please call

1-800-798-7398 or 1-514-842-8691. Please see end of instruction book for costs and mailing

address.

Please note your vacuum cleaner includes both a Paper Bag and a Cloth Bag

. The cloth bag

offers convenience for reusability, however, please note that paper bags will offer the best cleaning

performance and clean air results. Select the one most suitable to your needs.

Replace Dust Filters

Pre-Motor Filter

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a filtration system to reduce

dust and pollen in your home as you clean. The white pre-motor

filter is located inside the vacuum body behind the dust bag. Check

when changing the dust bag and replace when dirty.

To replace, lift vacuum body cover, then pull the white polyfoam

straight up and out of the vacuum body, dispense of old filter. Hold

new filter with narrow round side down and slide into position

between the two posts and the motor intake.

Post-Motor Filter

1. Remove rear filter by grasping edge, squeezing and pulling

towards you. The top of the cover will become loose and you

can remove it by pulling at a slight angle.

2. Remove filter and dispose of filter.

3. Insert new filter, making certain to position it over entire air

vent area.

4. Replace rear filter cover by placing the four tabs into the four

slots at the bottom of the filter opening. Push top of cover

until it snaps into place.
